Double Din ALPINE CDE W203Ri

Post by edo »

Hello;

Rescently i purchased an ALPINE CDE W203Ri double din unit for my 53 reg 9n polo; ever since instaling; it has never retained the memory i.e. radios stations / cd track loaction etc. I did not buy any particular block connnector as the factory standard fitted fine.

Also; At times; when i turn the car off the unit stays on and i have to manualy turn if off.

Can anyone suggest or has any ideas what i need to do to the probelms.

A problem I had up until this weekend when I switched headunits.

Had read online that aftermarket headunits have a different live/switched live setup to standard OE ones.
Could be solved by switching the red(live) and yellow(switched) wires on the back of the headunit DIN connectors.

Guess what...?

Something I read on the internet actually worked. :D

Red -> Yellow
Yellow -> Red

and POW! it gives the headunit memory.

Don't blame me tho if you use this information and blow your car up. :P
